wheels

heh - that's always been what i liked best, too.

have an uncle who drives s2000 and NSX - he says one should stick  
with same diameter as stock wheel - get a bigger rim to enable lower  
profile/less rolly tire.

of course honda/acura cars have very different looks from my scirocco

i probably need to weigh these babys too - what is a good weight for  
a 15-16" wheel (ie, what's best for the 16v)?
